Senator Sheehy Sworn into U.S. Navy Reserve by President Trump

WASHINGTON, D.C. - On Tuesday afternoon, Senator Sheehy participated in a swearing-in ceremony in the Oval Office, where President Donald J. Trump swore the senator in as a Navy Reservist.

"Fighting for our nation overseas as a Navy SEAL was one of the greatest honors of my life, and standing with my family in the Oval Office to be sworn into the Navy Reserve by President Trump was a humbling reminder that serving this country is a lifelong calling. I'm proud to continue serving both the people of Montana in the U.S. Senate and our nation in uniform, and I'll never stop fighting for the country I love and all the brave Americans who answer the call to serve," said Senator Sheehy.

Background:
Upon graduating from the Naval Academy in 2008, Senator Sheehy was commissioned into the U.S. Navy and completed SEAL training. He completed several deployments and hundreds of missions as a Navy SEAL Officer and Team Leader, deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, and the Pacific region.

Senator Sheehy was involved in dozens of engagements with enemy forces. After being wounded and injured in the line of duty in 2014, Senator Sheehy left active duty and started his veteran-led businesses with the vision of bringing some of the technological capability he observed during his military service to the civilian world to better protect Americans from public safety threats like wildfire.
